End of an era as brand dumps two cars from Oz: 2026 Volvo S60 and V60 Cross Country axed in Australia as the Swedish brand goes without a passenger car until the flagship ES90 electric sedan arrives

The writing has been on the wall for a number of years now but Volvo has officially axed its remaining sedan and wagon line-up in Australia.

While Volvo still may have examples of the S60 and V60 Cross Country left in its dealer network, both of these passenger cars have been axed locally. No more shipments of either are coming.

The Sino-Swedish brand now doesn’t have any passenger car in its line-up until the flagship ES90 electric sedan arrives. This is currently earmarked for an Australian launch in late 2025.

As a result, the Volvo Cars Australia current line-up only consists of the EX30, EX40, XC40, XC60, XC90 and EX90. The C40 electric SUV was axed locally earlier this year.

The Volvo S60 sedan has lived through three generations, with the latest version being first revealed in 2018 and launching locally in 2019.

Third-generation S60 models were initially sourced from the United States, but in 2022 a minor update saw production shift to China.

The V60 wagon launched locally in 2019 and was replaced by the higher-riding V60 Cross Country in 2021. The latter was always sourced from Belgium.

It remains unclear whether Volvo is working on successors to the S60 and V60, especially given it has dropped its plan to only sell EVs from 2030.

In the first six months of 2025 Volvo sold a total of 37 S60 examples and 78 V60 Cross Country examples, which is a drop of 56.5 per cent and 4.9 per cent, respectively.

The brand’s top-seller continues to be the XC40 small SUV. A total of 1287 examples were sold in the first half of 2025, which is down 24.1 per cent year-on-year.

In fact, Volvo as a brand has been experiencing a slump in sales locally. 3597 new vehicles have been sold year-to-date, which is down 24.1 per cent year-on-year.

Looking to the future, Volvo is planning to launch the aforementioned ES90 electric sedan later this year. It will also launch the EX30 Cross Country, which is a jacked-up version of the EX30 small electric SUV.
